Extended Pre-Application Advice
Extended pre-application advice reduces the risk of an application for consent being refused by the decision-making body, with all of the wasted expense that would entail.
We may be consulted on your planning application (this includes National Strategic Infrastructure Projects and Environmental Impact Assessments) where it requires Planning Permission, Listed Building Consent or Faculty Consent affecting nationally significant heritage assets.
See Proposals for Development Management for details of when we are consulted.
Involving Historic England early in the development of your proposal helps to reduce the possibility of delays as you move through the planning process.
Constructive engagement with Historic England is important… they are super helpful in discussing issues.
We provide a free round of pre-application advice for relevant proposals. If further advice is needed beyond our initial response, we offer ongoing engagement through our Enhanced Advisory Pre-Application Service. This paid service offers continued input to help you refine and develop your proposals before submitting a statutory application.
The Enhanced Advisory Service Description document below provides a full description of our Extended Pre-Application Advice service.
